9. As cookies bake, make icing. Combine powdered sugar and cream in a mixer until smooth, then add White Honey, vanilla, and milk.
10. Tint half the icing yellow, and decorate.
11. For honeycomb, pipe one hexagon shape in the middle. Using that shape and size, you can create the other hexagon shapes.
